Krazy Busy

It’s been a wild and busy day with a little confusion and stress built in.  It’s only 3 in the afternoon and I am done.  I took a break for about an hour talking with a colleague who reached out to me and now that I hung up I am ready to just push myself away from this machine. 

I got some really upsetting news this morning.  Seems that Mint Mobile has a no refunds cancellation policy that they are trying to enforce to deny me the years worth of service I paid for in advance.  I’m working with my credit card company but I’ve done so additional research and very surprised to see they have a BBB rating of F.  Lots of complaints and from what little bit I saw seems that if you engage the BBB they seem cave.  The no refunds policy is buried in the Terms & Conditions and you have to complete a form on-line within 7 days otherwise you forfeit your money but they don’t tell anyone about the form, I mean I found it after the fact today.  I looked at their FAQ and they clearly state their that if you cancel your service within 7 days they will refund all of your money (less any shipping charges, which didn’t apply in my case).  I was quick to fire back a response to the credit card company.  The credit I got is being reversed for now.  Not exactly sure how this will fair with the credit card company but I am not going to lie down and let them take my money.  I mean I am not in the habit of just giving money away and it’s sad that some people don’t or won’t fight the system.  I get no benefit from this as is and they get to pocket the money.  I’ve got nothing to show and they are a service based company but I get no service.  They also have the all too common Arbitration Clause so you can’t sue them you have to go through Arbitration.  This is all buried in the fine print that no one ever bothers to read because if you did, you probably wouldn’t do business with them in the first place and if you don’t agree to it they won’t do business with you.  Sort of a catch 22, damned if you do and damned if you don’t.  Needless to say I regret ever doing business with them.

Gator has been trying to eat me out of cat food and is picky as ever.  She is waiting for me now so I need to get up and see what all of her screaming is about.  I gave her Beef & Carrots for lunch knowing full well that she hates it but she ate some of it and then walked away.  Now she is really hungry.  I’m sure I will get yelled at some more when I see her. 

I should work for a bit longer but I am exhausted and didn’t get but maybe 10 minutes of a lunch break so I kind of figure it’s a wash for the day.  Back for one more day and then I am done for 5 full days, that will be nice!

Ciao for now.
